Day of ⁦@capitalgazette⁩ shootings, A1 featured a high school girl heading to USNA. Her mom, Diana Brinkley, tells me: ‘The paper focuses on our schools, our children’s sports, weather, crabs, zoning...journalism is noble & we must protect it’ digitaledition.capitalgazette.com/html5/mobile/p…
Cxn, Diana Brindley
More from Diana: ‘The front page of the Capital on Friday should have been filled with stories showing the excitement and joy of 2000 students taking the oath of office to begin their journey at USNA to become leaders in the Navy and our country...’
‘Instead we are reading about 5 men and women who are important members of our community who didn’t co e home last night to their families...’
‘I hope and pray we find a way to become united again. Each of us has a responsibility to nurture and protect the liberties that make the United States the best country in the world.’

2 days after a cold snap led Trump to tweet 'Whatever happened to climate change?' his administration issues a devastating report predicting US economy will shrink 10% if nothing is done to fight warming. nyti.ms/2zmesuU
"In direct language, the 1,656-page assessment lays out the devastating effects of a changing climate on the economy, health and environment, including record wildfires in California, crop failures in the Midwest and crumbling infrastructure in the South,'' reports NYT
"The report could become a powerful legal tool for opponents of Mr. Trump’s efforts to dismantle climate change policy, experts said."

So a week ago I wrote about how health care is a top issue in the Senate race in West Virginia, one of the poorest, most unhealthy states. The next day I began a vacation in Italy & experienced a health emergency. The contrast w our system was stark. 1/ nytimes.com/2018/09/08/us/…
In WV the Medicaid expansion has lowered the uninsured rate almost more than any state, but the GOP candidate calls the ACA a calamity bc of spiking premiums & wants total repeal. 2/
The Dem accuses his opponent of trying to eliminate protections against insurers discriminating against patients w pre-existing conditions. The debate is angry and polarized, as it has been for decades in the US. Meanwhile, Italy believes health care is simply a right. 3/

There was anger over POTUS’s remarks about LeBron James & Don Lemon. The unsubtle racial overtones brought to mind interviews I did with Trump supporters at a rally of vintage car owners in western Penn. 1/
The president seems to instinctively get what arouses a swath of his core supporters.
The covo among 3 car owners moved from illegal immigrants to Black Lives Matter to NFL kneelers. 2/
Owner No. 1: ‘Veterans are coming back with arms and limbs missing, nobody protests about that shit. But you’ve got thse foreigners that ain’t supposed to be here to begin with and they’re out there protesting…3/

Nerd boys wanting to date me because I "remind them of Ramona Flowers" have fucking ruined Scott Pilgrim to me.

Spoiler: no girl wants to date Scott Pilgrim.
There are a lot of terrible things about this, and Ramona is ALSO deeply flawed and kind of shitty (who isn't, honestly), but reader, I will tell you, I've dealt with part of the Scott Pilgrim story for real and man, it sucks.

A story:
In college, I was hyperfocused on class work. I went to a private art school, and didn't let myself socialize much my first year or two.

Shoutout to the children in soap operas for being so earnest and deep, and speaking in turn, in complete sentences. You seem to love nothing more than heart-to-hearts where you encourage your single parents to pursue their love interests. May you ever be your best selves.
The soap kids are so pure. They were so worried about not having a trinket to leave in the geocache box, and the girl gave her beloved necklace she needed to let go of for Reasons, and the boy understood the importance. I am totally shipping this blended family.
UGH! The wedding planner mom is now Very Upset that the man (gently and kindly) helped her boy pursue his rock climbing dreams. She is overprotective and freaks out. This may be the death knell, sadly. Will the boy's guitar performance at the talent show open his mom's heart?

New paper out, w/Mike Ransom: "Do High School Sports Build or Reveal Character?" ftp.iza.org/dp11110.pdf /1
In the paper we examine whether being an athlete in high school causes better educational, labor market, and health outcomes as an adult. /2
We find that almost all "effects" of sports are actually due to selection. i.e. correlation is not causation /3
